See the Milky Way from Tenerife – Stargazing at Its Absolute Best
There’s nothing quite like standing beneath the Milky Way — our home galaxy — and watching it stretch like a silver river across the night sky. And there’s nowhere better in Europe to experience it than Tenerife.
Thanks to its high-altitude, low light pollution, and Starlight Reserve status, Tenerife offers some of the clearest views of the Milky Way anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. With Night Skies Tenerife, you can see it in all its glory on our award-winning Sunset & Stargazing Tours.
When Can You See the Milky Way in Tenerife?
The Milky Way is visible year-round, but it’s at its most spectacular between April and October, when the galactic core rises high above Tenerife. During this time, you can see the densest, brightest region of the galaxy — packed with stars, nebulae, and dark dust lanes.
Why Tenerife Is Perfect for Milky Way Viewing
Tenerife is one of the few places in Europe where you can still enjoy a truly dark night sky. From our stargazing location in Teide National Park, over 2,000 metres above sea level, the sky is crisp, clear, and free from light pollution — offering a perfect window to the stars.
Teide’s volcanic landscape provides the ideal backdrop for astrophotography, making it a bucket-list location for Milky Way lovers.
